Spybot S&D ?? Martha Adams 11-26-2007

My Spybot S&D has changed its behavior, and I'm
starting to ask, what do I have here now? Up
to a few weeks ago, it started quick and ran to
good effect. It seems still to be finding the
usual spywares but it's notably changed in ways
I can't see coming from program revision and
evolution:

First change: It's very slow to start. My
machine works away for about a full minute
before anything happens on the screen. In this
time, says my Task Manager showing Processes, my
CPU is busy at near 100%. What's getting done in
this time? ??

Second change: Updating is slow and indirect. I
get a screen asking which of a variety of sources
to get the latest update from; getting the update
is very slow, and I have to close the update
software to get back to (what seems to be) the
Spybot.

Which leads me to ask, what's going on here? Is
my Spybot S&D still actually Spybot S&D? ??
And if so, what's it up to now?

Thanks -- Martha Adams

WTF? The "usual"? Your system is seriously compromised, you should flatten
and rebuild!

Your system is compromised, you shouldn't expect ANYTHING to work normally.
